Colposcopy Devices Market By Product (Optical And Digital), Portability (Stationary And Handheld), End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, And Others), and geography is expected to grow at a steady CAGR forecast till 2028 owing to the increasing incidence of cervical cancer and the rising awareness about early diagnosis of cancer across the globe.
The global colposcopy devices market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2028. The demand for colposcopy devices is primarily being boosted by the increasing number of cervical disorders such as cervical cancer and inflammatory changes in the vulva, vagina, and cervix. Further, the increasing awareness about early diagnosis, the rising adoption of advanced and innovative technologies, the increasing product launches and approval, and others are thereby contributing to the overall growth of the colposcopy devices market during the forecast period from 2023-2028.
The colposcopy devices market is witnessing a positive growth in product demand owing to various factors, one of the key factors is the increase in the figures for cervical cancer.
For instance, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) 2022, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with an estimated 604,000 new cases in 2020. The same source stated that a large majority of cervical cancers (more than 95%) occur due to the human papillomavirus (HPV). Colposcopes are vital medical devices used for magnified examination of the cervix, aiding in the detection of abnormalities and precancerous lesions. Thus, the increasing figures for cervical cancer across the globe will increase the need for colposcopes in the market.
Furthermore, the need for sophisticated and cutting-edge colposcopy instruments to assist the treatments is rising as more healthcare professionals and patients are becoming aware of the advantages of minimally invasive procedures. These tools frequently use advanced optics, high-resolution imaging systems, and other cutting-edge technology that increase colposcopy examination visualization and accuracy. The need for such devices is driven by the aim to increase diagnostic precision, enhance patient comfort, and facilitate the early diagnosis of cervical anomalies. Thus, the increasing awareness about minimally invasive diagnosis will also increase the demand for colposcopy devices during the forecast period.
Further, increasing research & developmental activities, product launches and approvals, among other strategic activities will propel the overall market of colposcopy devices. For instance, in February 2022, an India-based gynecologist Dr. Anupama Bhute Anand developed an android phone integrated colposcope named SINDICOLPO for which she received a patent.
Therefore, the above-mentioned factors are contributing to the growth of the colposcopes/colposcopy devices market during the forecast period from 2023-2028.
However, the patient's discomfort and anxiety during colposcopy examinations, the high cost of colposcopy devices, and associated procedures, among others may restrict the colposcopy devices market growth.
Colposcopy Devices Market by Product (Optical and Digital), Portability (Stationary and Handheld), End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
In the product segment of the colposcopy devices, the digital category is expected to amass significant revenue share in the year 2022. The domination is owing to the advantages and applications offered by the segment.
In comparison to another category, digital colposcopes take advantage of cutting-edge imaging technology to provide high-resolution pictures that improve diagnostic capabilities. They also facilitate effective data management and documentation, making it simple to save, exchange, and compare digital pictures and patient data.
These colposcopes are upright, at eye-level positioning, providing more space and comfort for the examiner, and a less intrusive exam for the patient.
Digital colposcopes may also be used to record processes and interact with educational platforms, which helps with training and education. The real-time visual displays improve patient engagement and education.
Additionally, the integration of AI and decision support systems in colposcope will improve the precision of identifying and analyzing irregularities of the cervix. Thereby, these factors collectively will drive the growth of the digital segment.
Coupled with the factors mentioned above, strategic activities such as product launches and approvals, increasing research activities, and others will also contribute to the growth of the colposcopy devices market during the forecast period from 2023-2028. For instance, in January 2019, MobileODT and its partners launched the first wide-scale deployment of AI screening for cervical cancer. The company has developed a smart colposcope, the EVAPro, which acts as a medical-grade case that can affix to a mobile phone. The case comes equipped with a light source and magnifying lens that enhances the ability of the phone camera, enabling it to act as a colposcope. This allows it to capture detailed images of cervical tissues. Thus, the rising product launches and approval in the digital segment of colposcopy devices among others will increase the demand for colposcopy devices during the forecast period.
Therefore, the benefits of digital colposcopy devices, product launches, approvals, and others are expected to increase the demand for this segment. Hence, driving the growth of the colposcopy devices market during the forecast period.
Among all the regions, North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the colposcopy devices market in the year 2022. Owing to the key factors such as rising cases cancerous growth in the cervix among others is driving the North America colposcopy devices market. Furthermore, the increasing product launches and approval, the sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, the rising regulatory approval for new products, and others will also help the market growth in this region.
For instance, according to National Cancer Institute 2023 latest data, in 2020 an estimated 296,981 women were living with cervical cancer in the United States.
Furthermore, the American Cancer Society 2023, predicts that in 2023 in the US, nearly 13,960 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed.
The need for colposcopes will inevitably expand as more people suffering from cervical cancer will require cervical cancer screening tools. Thus, the rising prevalence of cervical cancer in the region will increase the demand for colposcopes in the market.
Moreover, to assure fast and accurate diagnosis and ultimately improved patient outcomes, this increasing demand for colposcopes may also push healthcare organizations, clinics, and hospitals to invest in colposcopy devices.
The North America government also launched several programs to combat cervical cancer. In particular for low-income women, it broadened the insurance coverage's scope for cervical screening examinations. Additionally, it is attempting to make HPV vaccines a part of the Federal Vaccine for Children (VFC) entitlement program and insurance coverage. Therefore, these measures aid in the market's expansion.
Thus, the aforementioned factors would provide a growth environment for the North American region in the colposcopy devices market.
